Instructions
(Print version)
1. Open composition book to center and cut sewn binding to release inside pages; set aside.
2. Draw very basic car shape onto book and cut with fingertip craft knife on craft mat.
3. Adhere Dots paper onto front cover of composition book below black binding and turn over to trim excess with craft knife on craft mat.
4. Cut slit into black binding at top of car on front and back, thread ribbon through and double knot around dry-erase marker. Remove and set aside marker to replace after assembly is completed.
5. Adhere Only Time Main paper to inside covers of book and trim excess with craft knife.
6. Draw windows onto Decor Stripe paper (blue side), cut out, ink edges, adhere to car below black binding.
7. Trace four 3" circles from template onto chipboard, cut out with scissors, ink black and set aside to dry fully.
8. Stamp two lined circles from Noteworthy stamp set onto chipboard and cut out with scissors.
9. Cut around edge of original four dried black circles with tips of fabric pinking shears. By going around with just the tips, you create a tire tread instead of a pinked edge.
10. Line up all four tires and drill hole at center through all pieces on each side together on protected surface (phonebook, etc.) and adhere each tire with a brad from vellum flower pack through Rain Dot eyelet for finished edge.
11. Add stickers and chipboard elements to front of car, including a rub-on clock layered onto black inked chipboard in "road trip" title.

13. Trim excess hardboard from around dry-erase sheet using craft knife on craft mat and adhere to inside cover using Easy Squeeze Glue Gun.
14. Cut down plastic packaging from Rain Dot Eyelets from hanging side to fit inside cover. Trim piece of paper to fit open top, fold in half, and adhere to seal top. Adhere to inside cover being sure the original repositionable opening faces out.
15. Stamp X's and O'x onto blue and orange paper, mount onto chipboard, trim, and adhere magnets to back using Glue Gun (or to keep bulk down, use a simple strip of magnetic tape on backs). Store in refurbished Eyelet packaging.
16. Adhere swirls to inside cover using Glue Gun.
17. Adhere 8-pack of crayons to inside of back cover using Easy Squeeze Glue Gun.
18. Trim thick stack of reserved notebook paper to 5" x 6.5" using Deckle Blade in rotary trimmer.
